Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Surf remains hazardous due to a building primary northeast trade swell and secondary north-northwest swell, associated with a southward-moving shear line. Swell and surf will continue to build along north and east facing reefs through tonight, but gradually diminish along west facing reefs as the primary swell energy shifts further to the north and east. Late tonight, a significant pulse of trade swell is expected to rapidly build across the Marianas, reinforced by a strong trade-wind surge behind the shear line. Surf will increase further and could become dangerous at times along north and east facing reefs, especially around Wednesday.

Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions. Rip currents will be life threatening. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
